Workshop at EMNLP 2026: Multimodal Interaction in Face-to-Face
Dialogue
Short Title: MINT

Date: 28-Oct-2026 - 29-Oct-2026
Location: Budapest, Hungary
Meeting URL: https://mintworkshop.github.io/2026/

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics
Subject Language(s): Allar (all)

Submission Deadline: 08-Jul-2026

We invite submissions to MINT: Multimodal Interaction in Face-to-Face
Dialogue, a workshop that brings together researchers from
computational linguistics, NLP, computer vision, HCI, robotics, and
cognitive science working on multimodal face-to-face communication.
Workshop website: https://mintworkshop.github.io/2026/
The Workshop will be co-located with EMNLP 2026 in Budapest, Hungary,
October 24–29, 2026 (exact date within this period to be decided).
We welcome work on topics including:
1) computational models that integrate verbal and non-verbal cues such
as speech, text, gesture, facial expression, gaze, and body pose;
2) cognitive and linguistic insights about face-to-face communication
that can inform AI systems;
3) multimodal datasets with synchronised speech, video, and motion
data;
4) evaluation methods for multimodal interaction;
5) applications and tools for embodied conversational agents, social
robots, annotation, and behavioural analysis.
Papers should be prepared using the official ACL formatting guidelines
and ACL style files.
MINT welcomes both archival and non-archival papers:
i) Archival papers: Submissions must be anonymous and report original,
unpublished research to appear in the workshop proceedings.
ii) Non-archival papers: Submissions reporting previously published
work, preliminary research, or demos to be presented at the workshop
and not published in the MINT proceedings.
Papers may be submitted as long papers (up to 8 pages plus references)
or short papers (up to 4 pages plus references).
Non-archival submissions do not need to be anonymous.
We allow cross-submissions to other venues. However, to be included in
the proceedings, authors of accepted papers must withdraw them from
any other venue where they remain under consideration.
MINT will accept submissions through two channels:
a) Direct submission: The dedicated OpenReview portal for this is
available at https://openreview.net/group?id=EMNLP/2026/Workshop/MINT.
Archival papers submitted through this channel will be reviewed by the
MINT programme committee.
b) ACL Rolling Review (ARR): Authors may submit through ARR and commit
their paper together with the ARR reviews to MINT later at
https://openreview.net/group?id=EMNLP/2026/Workshop/MINT_ARR_Commitment
Important Dates (11:59 pm AOE):
ARR paper submission deadline: May 25, 2026
Direct paper submission deadline: July 8, 2026
Pre-reviewed ARR commitment deadline: August 24, 2026
Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2026
Camera-ready paper due: September 14, 2026
Accepted contributions will be required to be presented at the MINT
workshop as posters or talks.
The MINT workshop is sponsored by the Max Planck Institute for
Psycholinguistics: https://www.mpi.nl/
